Description

The FX 500 LS is suitable for a wide range of players from beginners, rising intermediates to experienced club players who prioritize lightweight performance.

The 100-square-inch head size suits most players, offering a balanced mix of control and power, while the open string pattern enhances spin and power generation. Weighing 10.1 ounces, the racquet provides excellent manoeuvrability while maintaining enough stability for powerful, deep shots from the baseline. Its head-light balance supports versatile all-court play, enabling quick swings for easier spin and rapid adjustments. The beam thickness varies along the frame providing optimized power and comfort characteristics.

Enhancing the above physical characteristics of the frame are the core technologies Dunlop has implemented into the materials that make up the racquet. With the 2023 edition, Dunlop has enhanced the flexibility of the frame thereby providing a more forgiving and comfortable feel. Dunlop has also adjusted the grommet system to enhance the power characteristics to increase overall energy return across the string bed. This combination of updates should also balance out the slight power reduction from the additional flexibility of the frame. For enhanced comfort, Dunlop has maintained their Sonic Core technology strategically located at the 2 and 10'oclock areas of the racquet's hoop for reducing unwanted shock at impact when hitting in the upper area outside of the sweetspot. Additionally, Power Grid String Tech optimizes the string layout for a larger than usual sweet spot with enhanced spin potential.

Combined with the core technologies, the FX 500 LS brings great spin potential with forgiving feel and explosive power for an all-around attacking game. With the 2023 updates, previous generation players will appreciate the additional comfort found during impact while maintaining its overall swing feel.

  • Head Size: 100 sq inches / 645 cm sq
  • Length: 27 inches / 68.58 cm
  • Weight: 10.1 ounces / 285 grams unstrung
  • Balance: 325 mm / 6 points head light unstrung

  • Style #: 10335800
  • Grommet Structure: A wider and deeper precision groove engineered into the racket frame creating more pull-back of the strings at impact, resulting in more power.
  • Put control in the palm of your hand: Re-designed string bed is larger across the main & cross strings, providing more even power distribution, particularly at the racket top. String movement generates more power & spin.
  • Increased power and stability: An aerodynamic power head shape provides a sharp, modern looking shaft. The wider throat provides more stability.

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
